But right now, Stella and Shannon are drinking them in the yard outside my office, and they look REAL good. And the story holds up: Shannon says she picked up the habit last summer in Oakland (poor man’s SF). Anyway, these two both proclaim this summer BRASS MONKEY SUMMER and who are we to argue? #brassmonkeysummer

Gah! That version sounds foul. I grew up drinking Brass Monkeys, we Used to steal pre-mixed ones from the bodega on the corner… it was basically orange juice and rum (and maybe some vodka?) Was pretty awful by adult standards, but as a teenager it was a step above the sambuca we knew my friend’s dad wouldn’t miss.
